Theft of property or services valued at more than $1,500 but less than $5,000 is usually charged as a third-degree felony in Utah.
Utah's criminal code has a separate statute that prohibits retail theft. Retail theft is commonly called "shoplifting" or "petty theft." The crime of shoplifting can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the circumstances and the value of the property taken.
In order to be a felony theft, the value of the property must exceed a minimum amount established by state law, typically between $1,000 and $2,500often referred to as the felony-theft threshold.
You will be charged with a third degree felony if the property is valued between $1,500 and $5,000, with a jail term up to five years and a fine up to $5,000. Any stolen property valued above $5,000 will be charged as a second degree felony with a jail term up to 15 years and a fine up to $10,000.
Theft becomes a second-degree felony in Utah when: the property or services are worth more than $5,000. the stolen property is a firearm or operable motor vehicle, or. the property is stolen from the person of another.
Petty theft means the property was not particularly valuable while grand theft means the property was very valuable. For example, if you steal property or services that are worth more than $5,000, you will likely be charged with the highest type of grand theft in Utah, which is second degree felony theft.
